Supplemental Figure Supplementary Figure S1. Ancestral state reconstruc�on of sidewinding specializa�on using maximum likelihood es�mates for discrete char- acters (Pagel 1994), as implemented by the ace func�on of the R package APE (Paradis et al. 2004). Pie charts at nodes show the likelihood of a specializa�on for sidewinding locomo�on vs. a generalist state. We used the phylogeny from Alencar et al. (2016) and the narrowest catego- riza�on of sidewinding specializa�on, coding species listed in Table S1 as sidewinding specialists. If we assume that all nodes with >50% likeli- hood of having the sidewinding state were in fact sidewinders, then specialized sidewinding has evolved 5 �mes, poten�ally with a reversal (Bitis schneideri, which may show popula�on differences in sidewinding tendency, Table S2). Note that one species in a sidewinding clade, Pseudocerastes urarachnoides, was only recently described (Bostanchi et al. 2006) a�er having been previously been mistaken for one of its congeners, and it is therefore uncertain whether it is similarly specialized for sidewinding.

Abstract Background: The Asiatic pit vipers from the Trimeresurus complex are medically important venomous snakes. These pit vipers are often associated with snakebite that leads to fatal coagulopathy and tissue necrosis. The cytotoxic venoms of Trimeresurus Keywords: spp.; however, hold great potential for the development of peptide-based anticancer drugs. Shore pit viper Methods: This study investigated the cytotoxic effect of the venom fromTrimeresurus Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus purpureomaculatus, the mangrove pit viper (also known as shore pit viper) which is Disintegrin native in Malaysia, across a panel of human cancer cell lines from breast, lung, colon and prostate as well as the corresponding normal cell lines of each tissue. Selective cytotoxicity Results: The venom exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxic activities on all cell lines tested, Anti-neoplastic activity with median inhibition concentrations (IC50) ranging from 0.42 to 6.98 µg/mL. The venom has a high selectivity index (SI = 14.54) on breast cancer cell line (MCF7), indicating that it is significantly more cytotoxic toward the cancer than to normal cell lines. Furthermore, the venom was fractionated using C18 reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and the anticancer effect of each protein fraction was examined.

The new species, Trimeresurus salazar, is a member of the subgenus Trimeresurus, a relationship deduced contingent on two mitochondrial genes, 16S and ND4, and recovered as sister to Trimeresurus septentrionalis Kramer, 1977. The new species differs from the latter in bearing an orange to reddish stripe running from the lower border of the eye to the posterior part of the head in males, higher number of pterygoid and dentary teeth, and a short, bilobed hemipenis. Description of the new species and T. arunachalensis Captain, Deepak, Pandit, Bhatt & Athreya, 2019 from northeastern India in a span of less than one year highlights the need for dedicated surveys to document biodiversity across northeastern India.

Deepak,2,3# Rohan Pandit,4,7 Bharat Bhatt,5 and Ramana Athreya6,7* Submitted August 13, 2018 A new species of pitviper, Trimeresurus arunachalensis sp. nov., is described based on a single specimen. It differs from all known congeners by the following combination of characters — 19:17:15 acutely keeled dorsal scale rows (except first row — keeled or smooth); overall reddish-brown coloration; white dorsolateral stripe on outer posterior edges of ventrals and sometimes first dorsal scale row; 7 supralabials; 6 – 7 scales between supraoculars; 145 ventrals; 51 paired subcaudals (excluding the terminal scale); single anal; a sharply defined canthus rostralis with the margin overhanging the loreal region; a distinctly concave rostral scale with the upper edge projecting well beyond its lower margin; an unforked, attenuate hemipenis that extends to the 8th subcaudal scale, and has no visible spines. DNA phylogenetic analysis indicates that the new species is distinct from congeners and nested well within the Trimeresurus clade. The closest relative based on available DNA data is T. tibetanus. The new spe- cies is presently known from a single locality — Ramda, West Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India.
